NOTE: The Encrypt Virtual Disk option is available only if unsecure virtual disks are configured in the SED.Encrypting Virtual Disks Using RACADMTo encrypt virtual disks by running a RACADM command, use the following syntax:racadm raid encryptvd:Disk.Virtual.0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1For more information, see the Chassis Management Controller PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.Unlocking Foreign ConfigurationDrives which are part of secure virtual disks are called secured drives. Secured drives can be migrated from one controller to anothercontroller. If a different encryption or security key is configured for the destination controller, the security status of these drives isdisplayed as ‘locked’ and cannot be seen as part of ‘preview foreign config’. The ‘Import foreign config’ does not detect these foreigndrives.While running the unlock command, provide the source controller passphrase and key ID for these drives. Even after unlocking, the‘foreign controller key’ still secures these drives. However, you can see these drives while searching for foreign drives in the existing‘preview foreign config’. You can import or clear the foreign configuration on these secure drives.If foreign drives with different security keys are migrated from more than one controller, then unlock and import or clear the set ofdrives from one foreign controller before unlocking the drives migrated from another controller. This action ensures that unlock is notallowed on a controller, if the controller has drives that are unlocked but not imported or cleared.Once drives are unlocked, you can import the foreign configuration using the CMC web interface or RACADM.If the controller is power cycled after the unlock and before the import phase, the drives are locked again.If the system has multiple foreign configurations, unlock and import each foreign configuration before unlocking the foreignconfiguration.The key ID used in unlocking is used only to identify the drives with matching the key ID. After the matching drives are found, thepassphrase is used for unlocking the drives.Unlocking Foreign Configuration Using CMC Web InterfaceTo unlock the foreign configuration:1. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview → Storage → Controllers → Setup.2. Navigate to the Setup page.3. Click Click here to Unlock.The Physical Disks page is displayed.4. Select the physical disks that you want to unlock.5. Check if the Physical disk is associated with the key identifier.6. From the Actions drop-down, select Unlock Drive.A dialogue box is displayed prompting you to enter the security key phrase.7. Enter a passphrase in the Security Key Passphrase text box.8. Re-enter the passphrase and click Unlock.The physical drive is unlocked and the drive does not appear in the Recover Physical Disks list.Unlocking Foreign Configuration Using RACADMTo unlock foreign configuration by running a RACADM command, use the following syntax:racadm raid unlock: FQDD> -key -passwd For more information, see the Chassis Management Controller PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.178
